About 2 decades ago, a 30-something comedian groomed and raped a girl who was 15, and looked even younger.
Sure, they called it “dating”.
He is now an A-list comedian.
Recently, the victim told her story on her social media account.
She produced many pictures of them on “dates” together at the time with the A-list comedian, including formal events – which nobody apparently questioned or called the police at the time.
The industry media reported her story. The A-list comedian issued a bland denial, which is literally impossible to believe, given the many details his victim recalled, places and times, and mountain of corroborating evidence.
Did anybody in the media cast doubt on the A-list comedian’s denial?
Did any of the A-list comedian’s industry peers call him out, or demand any consequences?
You know the answer.
Nothing at all.
The A-list comedian has many even more powerful A+ list friends, who keep inviting him on shows.
Nothing has changed at all.

‘HE WAS 33’ Comedian Jeff Ross ‘had sexual relationship with girl who was 15 when they met at New York comedy club’
A NEW report has revealed shocking details of comedian Jeff Ross’ alleged sexual relationship with a teenage girl he met at a New York comedy club while in his early 30s.
The 54-year-old standup comic is best known for his appearances in the storied Friars Club comedy house and several celebrity roasts on Comedy Central.
A feature published by Vulture on Wednesday alleges that Ross began a relationship with a woman named Jessica Radtke in 1999, when she was just 15 years old and he was 33.
Radtke, now 36, said she met the comedian at a comedy club in New York City.
She detailed their relationship on a public Facebook page she opened in September 2019 titled “Iwas15hewas33.”
Radtke, who is now married, claims she saw Ross on and off until she was 22.
Her video summary of their relationship went “mostly unnoticed” until allegations of comedian Chris D’Elia grooming underage girls surfaced in June, according to Vulture.
The revelation prompted fellow comic Pallavi Gunalan to tweet: ““Brace yourself for the 20+ other prominent men in comedy women have been messaging each other about behind closed doors.”
Gunalan then shared Radtke’s video in a thread on her Twitter account, where it quickly amassed more than 500,000 views.
Fellow comedian Griffin Newman joined in on the conversation, claiming that a “friend” told him about going on dates with Jeff Ross when she was 15 or 16 years old.
“This is clearly a pattern of behavior,” Newman said.
Jokes at the Comedy Central roast of Alec Baldwin in 2019 alluded to the rumors of Ross’ behavior.
Comedian Nikki Glaser joked that “Jeff gets really hot girls, and I just … How do you get tens? Teens — I’m sorry, I read that wrong,” while Caroline Rhea later added “Jeff Ross, you’re a staple on the roasting circuit and a predator at high-school dances.”
Amy Schumer told Vulture: “Jeff is someone I consider a good friend, and I love him, but to be honest, he always has alarmingly young-looking girlfriends.” – Source
